Penis enlargement surgery is a fairly common procedure that has certain risks and should be performed only if there are clear indications. Many patients are satisfied with the result and some have complications that require further recovery.
Benefits of surgery
Plastic surgery for penis enlargement has a considerable number of advantages, which makes men want to perform this manipulation:
- It is not necessary to constantly take pills with a short-term effect, which have a negative effect on the body;
- During operation, modern technologies are used that minimize the risk of negative consequences;
- Improve the quality of intimate relationships between sexual partners;
- Exclusion of the formation of various scars and scars on the body.
In order for the manipulation to be successful, it is necessary to find a good specialist and follow all the recommendations to prepare for the operation.
Indications for operation
Penis enlargement surgery requires real indications. If the patient wishes to change the size of the penis due to psychological uncertainty in her own abilities, then in this case the recommendation of a qualified psychologist is necessary.
The list of the main indications for the operation:
- Severe curvature of the penis due to the growth of fibrous tissue;
- Abnormal and congenital organ pathologies;
- Compaction of tissues in the genitals;
- Congenital malformations of the urethra;
- Changes in the anatomical structure of the organ.
Most often, the operation is performed with a small organ size that cannot carry out a full-blown sexual intercourse (this pathology occurs in 2% of men). Also, the surgery is performed with serious injuries that prevent the presence of a normal and regular sexual life.
Doctors are considering additional indications for the operation:
- A large amount of fatty tissue, which is found in the genital organ;
- Hidden penis;
- The membranous organ.
Possible contraindications and complications.
When performing an operation to enlarge the penis, it is important to study the contraindications that prohibit this procedure:
- The presence of an average size of the penis in the erect state;
- Minor age of a young person;
- Progressive diabetes mellitus;
- Inflammatory process in the genitourinary organs;
- Diagnosed with HIV, STD;
- Dermatological diseases with dissemination to the skin of the organ;
- The course of the oncological process in the body.
Errors during the operation or serious non-compliance with the recommendations for recovery can cause the development of the following complications:
- Open wound infection;
- Bleeding;
- Swelling of the penis;
- Pain when an erection occurs;
- Reduced sensitivity of the head of the organ.
After the operation, erectile dysfunction can be observed for some time with the following symptoms:
- Instability of the penis during intercourse;
- Tilt of the angle of the organ during an erect state;
- Reduce the size of the penis;
- Severe deformation;
- Problems with the onset of an erection;
- Death of necrotic tissue.
Methods of operation
The methods for penis enlargement operations are based on the use of various methods depending on the available indications and the general condition of the patient. The most popular manipulations are discussed below.
Ligamentotomy
This operation is performed under spinal anesthesia (injecting pain relievers into the spinal cord). Manipulation is carried out with an endoscope, which prevents damage to adjacent tissues and significantly reduces the rehabilitation period.
The duration of the procedure is about 40 minutes. During this time, the surgeon pushes the penis forward, which ensures the lengthening of its size. With actual measurements, the length of the organ does not change, but the characteristic changes are visually noticeable.
The patient is discharged from the hospital on the second day and recovers at her home. Pain relief is required for the first 3 days. After the operation, the pubic scar from the incision made remains.
The rehabilitation lasts several months. During this period of time, there is an addiction to the organ and the healing process of the tissues, which gradually become scarred. For recovery, it is necessary to constantly use an extender to finally fix the obtained result.
The cost of the ligamentotomy is in the middle range. The pricing policy has an average value among procedures of this nature and is fully justified if the operation is carried out in the presence of obvious indications and subject to the preparation of the body for surgical intervention.
Prosthesis failure
The phalloprosthesis is one of the most difficult operations, since it consists of replacing the genitals with an implant. Such manipulation is often carried out when changing sex and has a considerable number of complications, therefore requiring a long recovery and compliance with all medical recommendations.
Rigid, inflatable and plastic implants are used for the operation. The manipulation is performed under general anesthesia and the artificial organ is introduced into the area of the spongy bodies. If we talk about cost, then the procedure is quite expensive and inaccessible to the main category of the population.
Lip filler
Lipofilling is a plastic surgery in which the penis is thickened. The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of a special substance (fat) under the skin to obtain the desired effect.
When the adipose tissue is grafted, a gradual addiction occurs and the genital organ functions normally. For the procedure to give the proper result, it should be done 2-3 times a year, as the fat can be absorbed and form empty spaces, which affects the size of the penis.
Lipofilling can cause an inflammatory process in the body, therefore, if negative symptoms occur, this technique automatically becomes a contraindication for exercise.
The operation allows you to increase the thickness of the penis by 2 cm. The patient is discharged home for 2 days and the rehabilitation process lasts 4 weeks (privacy is prohibited to avoid the development of side effects and contraindications).
Microsurgical muscle transplant
Penis enlargement is possible with the use of a microsurgical muscle transplant. Furthermore, this technique is used quite infrequently as it is expensive.
The essence of the operation is to wrap the penis with a flap of tissue and suture the vessels, thus increasing their size. The duration of the procedure is about 3 hours with general anesthesia.
The skin takes root well and practically does not cause rejection, therefore this technique is one of the most effective.
After the operation, the patient is discharged in 5-6 days. Recovery lasts 3 months, provided that all the prescriptions of the treating physician are followed. Penis pain is noticeable within 20-25 days.
Penile prosthesis surgery
Penis replacement surgery is a manipulation that is used in the absence of a conservative treatment result and the use of other alternative methods.
Indications for the realization:
- The presence of a micropenis that does not correspond to the average size of the penis;
- Psychological problems;
- Peyronie's disease (deformity of the penis);
- Violation of blood circulation in the organ;
- Inadequate surgical intervention;
- Impotence, which has arisen in the context of progressive chronic diseases.
To carry out the operation, you must undergo special training:
- Exclusion of the presence of diseases (cardiac pathology, tuberculosis, oncology), which are contraindicated for prosthetics. In this case, a full examination of the patient is performed;
- Consultation with a psychologist (the specialist must prepare the patient for the absence of erection after the operation for several months);
- Selection of the model and type of suitable implanted prosthesis.
The operation is performed under general anesthesia and the prosthesis can be inserted through the foreskin, scrotum or pubis. After surgery, it is contraindicated to take any food for 10-12 hours.
The patient stays in a hospital for 5 days and then recovers at home for about 3 months. The lack of erection lasts up to 20 days and intimate relations are prohibited for 60 days.
Possible complications of the operation include rejection of the installed prosthesis, the development of necrosis (high temperature, inflammation) and infection of the wound. With such symptoms, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital and carry out repeated manipulations to correct the situation that has arisen.
When performing prosthetics, it is important to find a good surgeon who selects the most suitable implant and excludes the presence of possible contraindications and side effects.
Other non-surgical methods to enlarge the penis
Doctors identify some non-surgical techniques to enlarge the penis, which are discussed in the list below.
- Using a vacuum pump.This technique allows you to increase blood circulation in the organ and has an instant but short-term effect. The impact occurs by changing the pressure in the airless space of the pump, where the penis is placed. Vacuum pumps are used to treat impotence, so they should only be used as directed. Among the negative consequences of such use, there is a darkening of the organ due to numerous bruises and bruises, further trauma to the organ.
- Using an extender.A special device of mechanical action, which helps to enlarge the penis. To obtain a tangible effect, it must be used for several years. Disadvantages of the device: high risk of damage to the penis (impaired blood flow, leading to impotence). The development of negative consequences is also observed when the apparatus is used (hanging a load on an organ causing its curvature and deformation).
- Supplements and other herbal preparations.Opinions of doctors on this issue differ, as many experts consider such therapy only as auxiliary. Therefore, the patient must clearly understand that it is almost impossible to enlarge the organ while taking pills. Such funds can be used to improve overall potency.
Reviews of doctors and patients.
The answers of doctors and patients have different answers, since in this matter much depends on the presence of certain indications, the general condition of the body and its preparation for surgery.
Surgeon Review: "As a qualified surgeon, I want to say that penis enlargement operations should be performed if there are compelling indications. Most of the time, these manipulations are performed with severe organ deformation, congenital abnormalities, and very small penis sizes. Appropriate technique, it is important to correctly assess the general condition of the patient and exclude the presence of possible contraindications. "
Patient testimony: "Yes, I have problems too, since I have a small penis. I went to the hospital several times, but the doctors say there are no signs and that's it. I want to go abroad and try to have a fallopian implant, but no I know how safe this operation is. "
